"If these people take over Congress, they're going to use its powers exactly how the Founders intended! Can you imagine that? Congress doing its job?! Heaven forfend!"
Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Western US water righs: Our baffling 100+ year old laws require me to pour 3 cups of water into this cup, leading to outrageous waste. We should blame the Saudis for this

This group of moderate Democrats needs to go.
This is a batshit response to attacking candidates who are winning primaries and elections, when the other side is fascists. If you think you have more to lose from lefty candidates winning office than MAGA's continued destruction, no one should take you seriously. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

I'd also just note that Trump always does shit like this when he has a week where it's shown he has literally 0 juice. Can't get the senate to listen on the save act, can't get his AG nominated.
Trump posts meme suggesting he wants to run for an illegal third term, then follows that up with posts suggesting he wants to annex Greenland and Venezuela

The reason that Republicans are attacking immigrants is because immigrants make America wealthy and economically dynamic. Their vision for America is to turn the entire country into the South: an uneducated and impoverished backwater that a hereditary elite rules over like an aristocracy.

@danielsilvabooks.bsky.social Do you ever consider Gabriel Allon’s age while you write? As a longtime reader of your books, I am occasionally struck by someone in their now mid-70s doing the things Allon does (which is probably not what you want readers thinking about). I’m currently reading Ransom.

Actually read through the documents Trump released last night and they show basically the opposite of what he claimed. It shows that Russia aggressively sought to interfere on behalf of Trump in 2020. China explored it but thought the backlash would be too much and stayed out.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

@goodlander.house.gov Stop your committee before it starts. Remember “vote blue no matter who”? You need to unite with those further to the left. The reason they’re having success is people are pissed that the current Democratic leaders have done a terrible job stopping Trump and messaging
